A special grand jury that investigated election interference by former President Donald J. Trump and his allies in Georgia recommended indictments of multiple people on a range of charges in its report, most of which remains sealed, the forewoman of the jury said in an interview today. “It is not a short list,” the forewoman, Emily Kohrs, said, adding that the jury had appended eight pages of legal code “that we cited at various points in the report.” She declined to discuss who specifically the special grand jury recommended for indictment, since the judge handling the case decided to keep those details secret when he made public a few sections of the report last week. But seven sections that are still under wraps deal with indictment recommendations, Ms. Kohrs said. Asked whether the jurors had recommended indicting Mr. Trump, Ms. Kohrs gave a cryptic answer: “You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science,” adding “you won’t be too surprised.” The investigation in Atlanta has been seen as one of the most significant legal threats to Mr. Trump as he begins another run for the presidency. In November, the Justice Department named a special counsel, Jack Smith, to oversee two Trump-related criminal investigations. And last month, the Manhattan district attorney’s office began presenting evidence to a grand jury on whether Mr. Trump paid hush money to a porn star during his 2016 presidential campaign, laying the groundwork for potential criminal charges against the former president in the coming months. A focal point of the Atlanta inquiry is a call that Mr. Trump made on Jan. 2, 2021, to Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, in which he pressed Mr. Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, to recalculate the results and “find” 11,780 votes, or enough to overturn his loss in the state. “We definitely started with the first phone call, the call to Secretary Raffensperger that was so publicized,” said Ms. Kohrs, whom The Associated Press first named and spoke with on Tuesday about the election meddling investigation. “I will tell you that if the judge releases the recommendations, it is not going to be some giant plot twist,” she added. “You probably have a fair idea of what may be in there. I’m trying very hard to say that delicately.” The special grand jury met for nearly seven months in a courthouse in downtown Atlanta and heard testimony from 70 witnesses. Mr. Trump was not among them, and his lawyers have said he did nothing wrong. Special grand juries in Georgia do not have indictment powers; the ultimate charging decisions will be up to Fani T. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Ga., who has led the investigation. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/us/trump-georgia-grand-jury-indictments.html
My hope is that Trump and some of his cronies as well as some of his family end up in jail, and that attorney fees render him broke...because I think that's what he deserves.
That, plus the fact that even if it goes to court, it only takes one Tramp fan on the jury to cause a mistrial.
I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna hear Rudy testify (High) I feel it coming together Fani will see me and cry I'm gonna be on CNN Light up like a moth in a flame (Fame) I'm gonna live forever Baby, remember my name barfo
It’s kind of sad to watch the Democrats go after Trump again and again. They’re so desperate they’ll grasp at any straw. This case will collapse like the others, and they’ll start looking for something else.
Yeah! Why can't we just ignore Trump's long history of criminality, instead of insisting on some sort of accountability? Similarly, Putin. Why is everyone so upset about the murdering and raping of Ukrainian civilians? And Hitler, I hear he did paintings, so he wasn't all that bad! barfo
